B is also very good, but casts its net wider to good effect. Not everything is great, though - I never liked that Springsteen song and I would have gone for a different Public Enemy track.

Ohhh...it's B by a whisper, partly due to the fact that it had two tracks from my own doomed list. I feel it would overall hold my attention better.

Good contest, this one.

Hopped up on flu medicine, I can only agree with the above.B

It's before my time but I've been told, he never came back from Karangahape Road.

I can't remember the last time I voted for a winning selection, so given I voted for b here I'm sure that tally is right. I'm feeling very out of step with the tastes of BCB.

honestly you guys, how could you have gone for A over a list that had this glorious run:
Drive-In Saturday David Bowie
Love To Love You Baby Donna Summer
Harlem shuffle Bob & Earl
Safe From Harm Massive Attack
